Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3

Graphing at a young age is important to solidify basic math skills such as greater than/less than, categorizing and interpreting data. In this introduction to graphing class, students will be introduced to various types of graphs and then learn how to read a bar graph counting by twos. They will also interpret the information on the graph. Learners will then use gummy bears as we learn to record data on a blank graph using the colors of the candy. We will then interpret the data from our new graphs.

Learning Goals

Students will learn how to read a basic graph as well as record information on a blank graph.

Other Details

Supply List

Learners will need one small bag of Haribo gummy bears (3.4 oz. size). We will not be eating them but it is necessary that everyone have the same brand and therefore the same colors. Students will also need the blank graph in the attached file printed before class and a pencil, pen, or crayon. you may access the file below under the welcome post. If you have any questions about the supplies, please contact me before class prior to substituting with another item.

1 file available upon enrollment
